A full-flavored amber ale made with roasted caramel malt. Richly colored and medium-bodied, Alleycat is an assertive blend of malts with a sprightly cascade of hops.

Bottled at Oliver Twist, Stovkholm. Hazy copper colour, minimal head. Perfumy pear aroma with roasty crystal malt behind. Dryish with clean, crisp mouthfeel and fairly light body. Mildly salty with fresh perfumy peschy hops, slight notes of paper. Growing pleasant late bitterness. It was real nice to re-visit this beer. If I remember correctly it was one of the first American microbrews I tasted, sometimes in the mid-90s, at which time I did not keep descriptive reviews, just numbers.

Not my favorite type of ale, but this Amber Ale is rather good and enjoyable. You can definitely taste the caramel malt over any other type of malt used, it’s decently carbonated and a good example for the style.

Faint malty aroma with orange and cherry notes. Copper colored with floaties and no head. Grapefruit, cherries, and toffee flavor with a lemon peel finish. Quite hoppy for an amber. Perhaps too bitter in the end.

Bottle. Mild, sweet dried fruit aroma. Cloudy orange colour. The flavour is malty with dried fruit notes, possibly from the hops. Good, clean bitterness. Slightly watery finish, but otherwise good.

Bottled. A hazy amber beer with a lazing beige head. The aroma is sweet with notes of hops and some caramel. The flavor is sweet with lots of floral hops on a malty caramel background, leading to a bitter finish. Nice hoppiness.

On draught at Yard House in Chino Hills, CA. The beer pours clear dark amber with a thin off-white head that recedes quickly. Thin strings of lacing on the glass. Malty nose with touches of fruit. Medium, soft body with caramel malt, fruit and light spice flavors. The finish is sweet and malty with a short mild hops aftertaste. Average overall.
